Re: 100 Year Old Axis Aces
Frank, I think you just hit on a title for a future book from Osprey!

Re: 100 Year Old Axis Aces
Nick,
A rather thin effort at the present point. In fact I can do all the profiles without lifting a hand or getting out of bed. So I think Tony Holmes would be reluctant to approach the Osprey ownership with this title. Now if we can get some more data I will be glad to pass the profile effort to someone with more experience ... Enjoy! Frank.

Re: 100 Year Old Axis Aces
Hi Frank
I keep biographies on 2500+ Luftwaffe WW2 aces and can find no centurians(but I don't have all Dates of Birth/Death), the closest are Adolf Dickfeld at 99, and Gunther Scholz who is I believe still living and born on 8th December 1911, he is the most interesting as claimed one Spanish civil War aircraft, eight in the West and Twenty-Three in the East. Regards Johannes

Re: 100 Year Old Axis Aces
Johannes,
Thanks for your note. I will make a note of Gunther Scholz' date of birth, and hopefully make mention of him in the AFAA Bulletin article on 100 year old aces. Enjoy! Frank.
